Action
Get Task Details
This tool retrieves detailed information about a specific task in browse ai by its task id. it returns comprehensive details including the task's status, execution results, associated metadata, timestamps, and configuration. it complements existing tools by providing an in-depth view of individual task execution, including metadata and error details if applicable.
Why this helps
Removing a research file can leave uncertainty about whether its associated web extraction finished or needs attention.
- Retrieve a specified task's status and execution details after file removal.
- Make follow-up review easier when research material is cleaned up.
- Send task details to a report channel.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Google Drive and Browse AI once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name.
- 3Tell Notis to retrieve details for the specified Browse AI task when its research file is removed and send the result to your chosen channel.
- 4Pick the File Deleted or Trashed trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real removal event and confirm the task details are reported.
Questions about this workflow
How does Notis know which task to look up?
Provide the Browse AI task ID in the file or automation instruction. The trigger does not itself supply a Browse AI task ID.
Can this delete the Browse AI task too?
No. This workflow retrieves task details for review. The listed action does not delete a task.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Google Drive to Browseai. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Google Drive triggers
Browseai actions
Recurring trigger
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Bulk Run Tasks
This action allows users to bulk run up to 50,000 tasks using a specified robot. it provides a post endpoint at /v2/robots/{robotid}/bulk-tasks and supports parameters such as robot id (required), title (required), and input parameters (required). this bulk operation is essential for large-scale data extraction.
Webhook trigger
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Create Monitor
This tool creates a new monitor for a specific robot in browse ai. it allows you to configure a monitor with a schedule (frequency and interval) for automatic execution, along with optional custom name and input parameters, enabling automated tracking of website changes.
Comment Added (Docs/Sheets/Slides)
Triggers when a new comment is added to Google Docs, Sheets, or Slides.
Create Webhook
This tool creates a new webhook for a browseai robot. webhooks are used to receive notifications when tasks are completed or data changes are detected. the webhook will be called with the task details when specific events occur. it is useful for: - setting up automated notifications for task completion - receiving real-time updates when changes are detected - integrating browseai with your own systems - automating workflows based on robot task results the webhook can be configured to trigger on different events: - task.completed: when a task is successfully completed - task.failed: when a task fails - changes.detected: when changes are detected during monitoring
File Created
Triggers when a new file is created in Google Drive.
Delete a specific monitor
This tool allows users to delete a specific monitor from their browse ai account. it uses the delete method and requires a valid monitor id.
File Deleted or Trashed
Triggers when a file is moved to trash or permanently deleted in Drive.
Delete a specific task
This tool allows you to delete a specific task in browseai by its task id. it is used for cleaning up completed or failed tasks, managing resources, and maintaining your task list.
File Shared (Permissions Added)
Triggers when new sharing permissions are granted to a file or folder. Uses Drive's `changes.list` endpoint with inline `permissions` in the `fields` mask so each change carries the file's current permission set provider-atomically. We diff that against `seen_permission_keys` to identify newly added grants. Drive page tokens are the primary cursor; if Drive rejects a stored token, the trigger raises `PollingTriggerError` without clearing state rather than silently re-baselining and dropping events. Limitation: truly ephemeral permissions (added and revoked between two polls without any other file modification in between) are not detected. Drive Activity API would catch those but requires an additional OAuth scope and a different payload contract.
Get Robots List
This tool retrieves a list of all robots under your account in browse ai. each robot represents an automated task that can be trained to perform various web operations like opening webpages, logging in, clicking buttons, filling forms, extracting data, and monitoring changes. it is useful for: - getting an overview of all your automated tasks - checking the status of your robots - retrieving robot ids for use with other api endpoints - monitoring when robots were last updated or created
File Updated
Triggers when a file's metadata or content changes in Google Drive.
Get Robot Tasks
This tool retrieves all tasks associated with a specific robot in browse ai. it provides a paginated list of tasks with their details including status, input parameters, captured data, screenshots, and lists. it is useful for: - monitoring task execution status - retrieving captured data and screenshots - analyzing task execution history - debugging robot performance
Google Drive Changes
Triggers when changes are detected in a Google Drive.
Get Task Details
This tool retrieves detailed information about a specific task in browse ai by its task id. it returns comprehensive details including the task's status, execution results, associated metadata, timestamps, and configuration. it complements existing tools by providing an in-depth view of individual task execution, including metadata and error details if applicable.
